I’m kicking myself for not thinking of this idea a day earlier. It would have been perfect for St. Patrick’s day. Anyway here is my cheeky reflection on life like a pint. #illustration

I will never stop talking about the lack of respect for child readers and the lack of good media coverage for children’s books, esp Irish children’s books. It matters. Children and esp teens are reading for joy less and less. No child readers, no adult readers in the future. Simple as that.

I love this little handbook by @whackochacko.bsky.social on how to stay creatively motivated. It’s brilliant! I keep referring back to it.  whackochacko.com/shop/

The ebb and flow of working for yourself can be tough. Don’t panic, more work will come! Anyone else feeling it at the moment? #freelance #illustration

Sometimes I wonder why they spent so much time developing A.I. Art. Why create something that undercuts a job that people like doing. Artist love making art, why not spend that money and energy developing AI to solve a big problem that the world really need solved? #illustration #minicomic #aiart
